Yes, it is already almost one week ago that we've opened the first solo exhibition with London based artist David Shillinglaw. Thanks to everyone who came by and enjoyed this beautiful evening with us.

For images of the vernissage, click here or on the image above. If your are interested in visiting the exhibition, please contact us. The show will be up until beginning of September.

Earlier this year, Geberit and heliumcowboy launched “Artists for Geberit“ and selected three creatives for a new series of artworks on ‚Monolith‘ surfaces: Julia Benz, Jeff Soto and Alex Diamond. Each artist designs unique artwork for one WC and one washbasin element. These designs are printed only once, and can be won in an online raffle, including the matching shower toilet Geberit AquaClean Sela and the washbasin Emco.

The second „Artists for Geberit“-Edition by Julia Benz has just been released, and you can take part in the second round of the raffle for this series . The artworks by Jeff Soto will follow in August. Alex Diamond's work has already been raffled in the first competition.

You can find all the details how to win this high-end luxury bathroom equipment by following this link.

And: Julia Benz' edition just made the news: Here's what interior design magazine 'A&W' just published in their most current issue:

It's not every day that you can see original artwork by one of the most prestigious german Graffiti artists, Boris Hoppek. We here at heliumcowboy have been representing Boris since 2004, but while he has continued to be active on a very high level these past years, very few of his art shows or urban interventions have taken place in his home country lately.

For the exhibition "60 Jahre Kunst in Hamburg" we've managed to get very exciting works on paper to show, including a 450 x 150 cm large marker drawing and several smaller sized, highly detailed ink piece.

Boris Hoppek's historic importance for Urban Art is only one of the many reasons why you should check out the group exhibition "60 Jahre Kunst in Hamburg" while it lasts - only four days left to do so, including a night for drinks this very evening:

Setting up the show: David Shillinglaw and Frida Mindt discussing our upcoming exhibition REMOTE CONTROL. This is David's first solo show in Germany, and also a debut for Frida - her first exhibition as gallery director here on the Ranch.

Congratulations to both - even though it is still a lot of work to be done before the vernissage this Friday (July 10, 7-11 PM), the gallery space already looks amazing! This will be once crazy good art show, you definitely don't want to miss it ...

This Wednesday, July 8, starting at 7 PM, the galleries Affenfaust, Feinkunst Krüger, Kramer Fine Arts, Mikiko Sato, Oel-Früh and heliumcowboy invite you all one last time to the amazing venue of our group show "60 Jahre Kunst in Hamburg".

Not only do we want to invite you to celebrate a successful show and the final days of the exhibition (closes Saturday), there's also new artworks presented by Oel-Früh, Mikiko Sato & Kramer Fine Arts Wednesday evening.

We've also hung 3 brand new drawings by Victor Castillo last week for those who've seen the exhibition already. And in case you haven't made it to the show yet - it is still (but very little) time:

We are very happy to announce our first solo exhibition with London based artist David Shillinglaw opening July 10 in our gallery space in Bäckerbreitergang 75.

We first introduced David to Hamburg in 2013, when heliumcowboy founder Jörg Heikhaus was supporting the Millerntor Gallery #03 as artistic director of the charity art festival in the stadium of cult football club FC St. Pauli. Since then David has gained high recognition on the art market and in galleries world wide as a future collector's highlight.

David Shillinglaw’s art explores themes of identity and the human condition, whether a complex anatomical diagram or simple stick man. Drawing on ideas from ancient mythology as well as popular culture, the artist creates a dialogue between the historic and the contemporary. Shillinglaw often paints directly onto found objects, forging a candid relationship between himself and his shifting environment.

It’s halftime at the art fairs in Basel, and we have nicely settled into our booth at the SCOPE Art Fair, welcoming art enthusiasts from around the world. Our well curated selection of artwork by Julia Benz, Victor Castillo and Alex Diamond is part of JUXTAPOZ PRESENTS, a special program at the fair celebrating artwork that bends, blends and transcends genre.

The fair will be open every day until Sunday from 11 am to 8 pm at Uferstraße 40, situated along the banks of the river Rhine. If you are in Basel, please visit us at booth A17, we’e happy to welcome you and talk about our artists and their work.

The galleries Feinkunst Krüger, heliumcowboy, Mikiko Sato, Oel-Früh, Kramer Fine Art, and Affenfaust Galerie stand for the variety of Hamburg's art scene for 60 years - well, if you count all the years together that our places exist in Hamburg.

On initiative of the Affenfaust Galerie, from June 13 – July 11 we will jointly show artists from our individual programs.

We will be showing brand new and yet unseen artworks by Boris Hoppek, Julia Benz, Victor Castillo and David Shillinglaw and a large sized woodcut of Alex Diamond.

heliumcowboy is back at the fairs - and in excellent company we must say. For SCOPE Basel 2015 we have been selected to be part of JUXTAPOZ PRESENTS as one of four international galleries including Colab Gallery (Basel), BC Gallery (Berlin) and Laurence Alkin Gallery (London).

We will be showing artwork by Julia Benz, Victor Castillo and Alex Diamond at our booth (A17). Please contact us if you wish to inquire about the work we will present beforehand.

SCOPE Art Fair takes place from June 16-21, please find all the necessary information here:
